Has anybody information on Impco converters. We no longer see model J or K here in the UK. They were replaced some time ogo with "Cobra." I understand because of an accident in Germany, where an operator pressed the tester/cold start on the secondary chamber for too long causing and engine explosion. There must have been more to the storey than that! Because the Filter Lock valve should stop such occurances. We have seen the button shrouded on some Converters but not on others. Also if you buy a new "Cobra" Converter the button has now been removed. I have not seen that on new production FLT's yet. What are the rules on this button and its shroud now in the US? Impco training information is very hard to come buy here in the UK. Any body know where I can get it?

Hi Toric, I probably am as old as you! I've been working on FLT's for the same company 33 years. I do seem to remember Con liked his liquid lunch, so must be the same guy you remember
you must be as old as me
was Con Hanlon the big guy that preferd the liquid lunch if so i rember him.
Hi Frankie, I'm looking for any up to date information on Impco including Cobra. I can't really talk to Barlow as I work for their major competitor in the UK. We dont have any serious legislation for emmissions. Closed loop systems are on about 10% of the units we sell. (Commander or ECS) We just have to have proof of training for our Techs. records for Health and Safety! The only info I have refer to K and J units or the little books you get with the repair kits which are too small to scan. So anything you have would be gratefully reiceved. I think I can put my e-mail in my profile so if you click on it you should be OK............I,m new to the forum so don't know if this will work. If not maybe the administrator will tell me a way round it.
Thanks Dave
Dave.
What Information Exactly are you looking for. Over here in Canada you have to have a liciense for everything especially gas.
Impco have done away with the model J it was replaced by the model K which had major problems with the pin in the centre.
Model K was Replaced by the Cobra, presently in use here.
Now with the introduction of latest generation lift trucks they have got real mean on Emmissions using closed loop systems etc - etc.
Try a Reputable lift truck company like Barlows they are the Hyster Dealer in your area for your info if you have no luck give me a buzz & i will find what you need & send it to you.

rodger, thanks for the Impco web address. I have found that one in the past. It doesn't really give me any tech info on Impco stuff. The only training or tech information seems to be a link for a colege in the US..............I won't get that trip past my boss! I feel I need to update my knowlege on LPG fuel systems as the last formal training I had was with Calor Gas in the UK.............a really good guy called Con Hanlon used to run the training. Some of the UK guys in the forum may remember him. Where is he now...........I think he was close to retiring in the mid 90's when I new him. I still use a Video tape that Calor produced, but it is well out of date. regards dave
